The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 394 Only One Ye Qiu

This is a relatively slow paced game, but with exciting and intense scenes.

I believe that at this moment, all the fans watching the game at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff feel the same mood as Roman Abramovich standing in the VIP box.

This was something the Russian could not have imagined before the game, because in his opinion, no matter how good Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur were, they would not be able to compete with the Ruble Army he built with a lot of money. Filled with a group of top players, even superstars, how could such a team be defeated by a group of kids?

The game time passed quickly, and Abramovich didn't notice at all, when he left his seat and came to the front of the box, watching the game intently, and even his mood became very uneasy and uneasy.

Like Mourinho, he regards this game as a game that cannot be lost!
All along, even after Ye Qiu left Chelsea, he never denied Ye Qiu's outstanding contribution to Chelsea, and he never denied Ye Qiu's outstanding coaching ability. Synonymous with the perfect manager, Mourinho will always be just a substitute.

It was also because of this that he became uneasy, because he was not sure whether his team could beat Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur. He even thought that as long as he could beat the opponent, even if the game ended It doesn't matter how ugly it is.

The pace of the game was a bit slow, but it was intense. The two sides came and went, the ball changed hands quickly, but no one was able to create a great scoring opportunity, but Tottenham Hotspur always grasped the ball. Chelsea is taking austerity tactics.

"Why didn't you Chelsea choose to press out and play?"

Just now, a distinguished guest from Russia in the VIP box asked Abramovich strangely, because this guest knew very well that Chelsea is currently known as the strongest team in the Premier League and even Europe.

"I think those in white clothes are stronger. Look at their passes, they are too fast and accurate!"

In this game, Chelsea wore a standard blue home jersey, while Tottenham Hotspur also wore their own home white jersey, white clothes and black pants, very simple, without any complicated lines and decorations, after all Tottenham Tottenham Hotspur was in a hurry to find Adidas, and the latter did not have time to design the jersey specifically for Tottenham Hotspur.

But even so, it is made by Adidas after all. The workmanship and quality are undeniable. It looks handsome and elegant. There are only three logos on the front chest. The big logo in the middle is Vodafone, and the left chest is Tottenham Hotspur. The team logo and the Adidas logo on the right.

With the rise of Tottenham Hotspur's performance this season, coupled with the joining of Beckham, and the rise of Messi, Fabregas, Ribery and other stars, Adidas has clearly strengthened its support for Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs' attention, and now they have started to design a new jersey for Tottenham Hotspur for the next season.

At that time, Tottenham Hotspur's home court will still adopt the traditional color of white and black trousers, and the away jersey will also use the traditional sky blue. The team's new team logo will also be redesigned, these are some of Tottenham Hotspur's new initiatives to market the team.

Like every important game and final, Abramovich still invited hundreds of his relatives and friends from Russia to the Cardiff Stadium for this League Cup final, allowing them to watch his team live How to win the championship again, it’s just that the situation seems to be a bit stalemate until now, which also caused the views of Abramovich’s relatives and friends to be somewhat polarized. Some people like Chelsea, and some people like Tottenham Hotspur. In succession.

"Don't worry, the passivity is only temporary!" Israeli Pini Zahavi smiled and walked to Abramovich's side.

He knows the Russians too well, and the significance of beating Tottenham Hotspur in this game is more important than winning the League Cup.

Abramovich is a very possessive person, but at the same time he is also a very competitive person. For him, when Ye Qiu refused his offer to stay and left Chelsea, he spared no expense to reorganize and restructure Chelsea. The purpose of strengthening is not just to ensure the strength of the team, but to tell everyone that Chelsea will be stronger without Ye Qiu!

When Ye Qiu returned to the Premier League, bought Tottenham Hotspur, and made this North London team a new favorite in the Premier League, Abramovich didn't say anything, but he was secretly comparing himself in his heart. It can be seen from his request to Mourinho.

Unexpectedly, Tottenham Hotspur led by Ye Qiu played the most aggressive offensive football in the Premier League this season, and was highly affirmed by the Premier League and even all walks of life in Europe. Football's Abramovich was even more awkward and depressed.

Therefore, only by defeating Ye Qiu and his Tottenham Hotspurs can Abramovich's depression be relieved a bit.

"Perhaps, we were really wrong!" Abramovich looked at the field. Chelsea's players were forced to tighten their defense by Tottenham Hotspur. They didn't have the calmness and generosity that the Premier League leaders should have. Even from the perspective of the scene, Tottenham Hotspur played more calmly and stronger than Chelsea.

"He will never be able to play football like Ye Qiu!" Abramovich said with regret.

He chose Mourinho, because the Portuguese played a strong attacking power in the Portuguese Super League when he was coaching Porto, and many people recommended Mourinho to Abramovich at the time, thinking that he would He is a very good head coach, but after Mourinho came to Stamford Bridge, Abramovich discovered that his football was more conservative than Ye Qiu.

Of course, many people also looked for explanations for Mourinho, such as Ye Qiu's shadow, such as the performance pressure brought about by Chelsea's investment, etc., but Abramovich didn't believe it. Come on, good-looking attacking football.

"In today's football world, there is only one Ye Qiu!" Pini Zahavi doesn't think Ye Qiu is a threat at all. Of course, they are still enemies, but now the only one who can threaten Pini Zahavi is Mourinho and Jorge Mendes.

Oh, and Peter Kenyon, who got in the way of things, I heard that he has always kept close contact with Ye Qiu.

Sometimes Pini Zahavi has to admit that Ye Qiu is indeed very capable. At the very least, his ability to construct a team's smooth offensive system is truly unparalleled in the world.

In the first half of this season, Tottenham Hotspur played in a mess, was beaten badly by many teams, and sometimes was beaten like a bereaved dog, but he insisted on getting through, and the winter break convinced him Beckham's joining the team directly led to the transformation of Tottenham Hotspur into the most beautiful and smoothest attacking team in the current Premier League.

And sometimes, Pini Zahavi really felt that Ye Qiu seemed to have the ability to predict.

Last summer, he secured the four transfers of Ribery before the World Cup. This is definitely the most valuable signing of Tottenham Hotspur last summer. Ribery alone, before the World Cup and the World Cup Afterwards, the value was at least several times worse, which made Abramovich secretly angry several times.

What is even more frustrating is that Ledley King was brought in with a lot of money, but this England international, who was very eye-catching last season, has suffered a lot of injuries since he came to Chelsea. So far he has not played for Chelsea. Playing a good game, 3000 million euros was enough to introduce such a glass man. Many people ridiculed Chelsea, thinking that their introduction of Ledley King was worse than Real Madrid's introduction of Woodgate.

Alan Lennon is very capable, but the problem is that he can't play the main role in the current Mourinho system. For a substitute of 500 million euros, I am afraid that only Chelsea in the world can have such a luxury. The move, if you add Shevchenko who joined at a sky-high price, Chelsea will sit on the bench of over [-] million euros in every game, which is really cheating.

When I think about it sometimes, it's no wonder that Abramovich is upset, especially when compared to Ye Qiu's period.

During Ye Qiu's period, Chelsea's main force and bench lineup were very strong, but the problem is that he was obviously more cost-effective in terms of signings and strengthening the bench thickness, but Mourinho only came to the team in less than two days. years, but I don't know how much money the team has squandered.

"How is Ancelotti?" Abramovich asked suddenly.

Pini Zahavi was taken aback for a moment, and then came to his senses. Ancelotti is one of the few head coaches in today's football world who can play smooth offensive football, but now he is at home in AC Milan. Where is he willing to go?

It seems that after asking, Abramovich thought of this level and waved his hand, "Forget it, I will ask casually."

But Pini Zahavi raised the corner of his mouth, there is a joke!

At this moment, a burst of extremely enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted in the stadium, attracting the attention of everyone in the box.

Joe Cole took the ball on the left and quickly wanted to take it to the center. He wanted to wait for an opportunity to hit Tottenham Hotspur's ribs.

Mascherano sprints up and waves to Alves, the Brazilian sprints back down the right as Ashley Cole presses forward at the first instant into the Tottenham Hotspur 30 m area.

Joe Cole is very smart. He took advantage of the sudden acceleration when Mascherano and Alves took over, and wanted to cut into Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area from the left rib, but Mascherano also defended Following his move, he got close to him immediately, forced him with his body, and stabbed him before he entered the penalty area.

The ball was broken, and people also fell into the penalty area, but the referee did not blow his whistle as Joe Cole expected.

The Chelsea fans in the stands were very upset. They obviously felt that this should be a foul, and they should even give Chelsea a penalty kick. After not blowing the whistle, as soon as he saw Drogba approaching, he immediately poked the ball forward.

When Mascherano went to the right to help defend, Beckham took the initiative to retreat to the front of the defense line, turned around after getting the ball, stared at Lampard with his left shoulder, and directly hit the ball with his right foot. smoke.

The ball seemed to pop out from Beckham's feet, climbed quickly, crossed an arc, crossed Chelsea's entire midfield, and then fell to the right. At this time, Chelsea's defense was quickly returning to defense. , Carvalho rushed to the forefront.

At this time Ashley Cole couldn't come back in time, Tottenham Hotspur counterattacked on the right, obviously aiming at this point, and the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands shouted crazily, because They saw that Messi was rushing forward quickly along the right.

In fact, Messi is really fast at the moment of starting, but when he stops the ball and rushes forward with the ball, the speed is slow, because his long-distance sprint speed is not very fast, But Carvalho's recovery speed is not slow at all.

But Messi is still carrying the ball very well and advancing quickly along the right. Carvalho is very experienced. He knows that at this time he must not be surpassed by Messi. He can only choose to block his internal cut route. Then wait for teammates to return to the penalty area to organize the defense.

Messi was forced to the right side of the penalty area by Carvalho. The Portuguese did not give Messi the slightest chance to cut into the center line from the beginning to the end. After reaching the right side of the penalty area, the opportunity to cut inside has been completely lost. Messi can only choose He controlled the ball, made an emergency stop, dunked the ball back, passed Carvalho, and knocked back to Fabregas who plugged in.

Fabregas received the ball on the right side of the front of the penalty area, facing Makelele, the Spaniard looked at Makelele, stopped the ball with his right foot and tried to charge forward, forcing Makelele to take a step back, But he suddenly stepped on the ball, pulled it back, and picked it up again.

The whole process was as if the ball was sticking to his feet, and in this pick, the ball went directly over Makelele, from the right side of the Chelsea penalty area, and fell obliquely to the left side of the penalty area, and Ribery quickly Cut into the penalty area from the left rib, but Cesc Fabregas's pick was a bit big in order to avoid the defender, and the landing point was a bit outside.

Franck Ribery stopped the ball before Terry, but at this time he had his back to the goal, but the scarred face of France made a fake move to make a pass, which tricked Terry to follow and shift his focus , he dunked the ball back, and he insisted on taking advantage of his small stature and agility to get a slight gap from Terry's body.

After seeing Franck Ribery spiking the ball and pulling half a body away from Terry, his right foot made a low pass to Terry's left side.

This is the only choice that Ribery can make, because if he barely kicks, this shot is impossible to hit, because his angle has been completely blocked, so he can only choose to cross and hope in the penalty area If someone in the teammate can follow up and kick directly, then the ball will be there.

Of course, if Chelsea clears the siege early, there is no way.

Just like what Beckham said when sharing his own experience in a tactical meeting in the team, every decision and every action of a player on the court cannot guarantee the result he wants, as if he has no way It is like ensuring that every pass of his own can accurately fall to the feet of his teammates, and what he can do is to try to pass the ball to the most suitable space and let his teammates catch it.

Ribery is doing the same now!

Hilario didn't dare to attack lightly when the pass was near the penalty spot. Behind Terry, Makelele and Carvalho both rushed forward to make a clearance, but when they were close to the ball Suddenly, a thick and powerful thigh stretched out from nowhere, grabbed the ball before them, stopped the ball, just out of the reach of Makelele and Carvalho, and then landed with his right foot Stepping on it, the left foot calmly swung towards the stopped ball and just slapped it.

Hilario stood on the left side of the goal, and this shot was very tricky. After stopping the ball, his left foot exerted force and hit the right side of the goal. It was aimed at Hilario who was standing on the left side. Very calm, but at the same time very tricky shot.

The Portuguese goalkeeper couldn't react at all, and when he realized someone kicked, the next thing he saw the ball went into the net, because the distance was too close, and the kick was very powerful!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

Accompanied by the cheers from the on-site commentator, all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience rushed out of their seats, shouting frantically, and the momentum was overwhelming. At this time, everyone noticed that it turned out that The one who scored the goal was Luther van Nistelrooy, a powerful center who performed very well this season!

"Wow!!! In the 27th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot pierced Chelsea's goal!"

"Oh my god, it's the payoff of Tottenham's non-stop attacking, you know? Tottenham had 71 per cent of the ball in the first few minutes and Chelsea were pretty much passive. Defensively, is this still a mighty Chelsea team looking to compete for the Premier League title and the European Cup?"

"Too conservative! Mourinho's tactics are too conservative. He should choose bolder and braver tactics instead of shrinking defense and playing long counterattacks. This is not Chelsea's strong point. Drogba is in front. For nearly half an hour, there was hardly any threat in the frontcourt!"

The game screen and the big screen at the scene kept replaying the whole process of Tottenham Hotspur's attack just now, from Beckham's long pass to counterattack, to Messi's right-handed drive to get the ball, and then to knocking back to Fabre Gass, even if the latter faced Makelele, he lightly kicked the pass and passed the ball directly to the left to Ribery.

"Too confident! Cesc Fabregas' pass was too confident! Even though he was facing Makelele, he still confidently passed to the left, and Ribery used his flexible The body swayed away from Terry's cross, and Tottenham's attack went from the right to the left and back to the center, and the pass and reception were very quick and skillful."

The Tottenham Hotspur players rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly. They all stood in a row and made a pacifier sucking action. This scene appeared on the big screen and got All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience cheered, because they were using this kind of celebration to dedicate this goal to Ye Qiu's newly born child.

"What a harmonious and touching scene! The Tottenham Hotspur players obviously planned it long ago. After scoring a goal, they used this gesture to celebrate. Let us once again congratulate Ye Qiu. I heard it was a boy. Congratulations to him!"

And when the camera was on the sidelines, Ye Qiu smiled and applauded the players to express his gratitude, but he quickly issued a request to the players, indicating that they should continue to maintain the pressure on Chelsea and not have the slightest Relax.

After all, 1:0 is the most unsafe score!
